To this day, the Apple Watch Series 7 was expected to debut at the same time as the formation of the iPhone 13. Now, like Applerumored September If the event approaches, it looks like the 7 series could be delayed due to production issues.
In accordance with Nikkei Asia, the root of the problem is the “complicated designs” of the 7 Series Supposedly, small-scale production began last week, but the results were not satisfactory because the design is “significantly different” from previous versions and there were problems with the assembly of modules, components and electronic screens. The delay was also corroborated by one Bloomberg report, Which one cited an anonymous source close to the subject.
Rumors about the 7 Series have been sparse compared to previous years, but one thing that has been consistent is that the Apple Watch is achieving a redesign. So far we have seen some of them makes a flat cut watch which looks like an iPhone mini. Another recent rumor is that the size of the screens increase, from 40mm and 44mm to 41 mm and 45 mm.
But Nikkei claims that it’s not necessarily the exterior design that causes problems, even though larger screens ultimately play a role. The report also says new features, such as blood pressure monitoring, have forced Apple to reconfigure the internal design of the watch. (Blood pressure monitoring is also a fairly new rumor, as it has long been speculated that Apple was working blood glucose control.) Simply put, you need to store more components in a clock than it is that much larger than its predecessor. It is reportedly causing production problems, a problem that has only been exacerbated by the pandemic. Specifically, Nikkei says the inability for Apple to work personally with its suppliers to verify specifications means the company is it only encounters design challenges once test production begins.
It is almost certain that we will have it multiple Apple events again this fall. But until now it was thought that there could only be two events. While it was believed that the iPad Mini, Apple Watch Series 7 and AirPods 3 would be launched alongside the iPhone 13 line in September, the new MacBooks M1X and Mac Mini are expected to debut in the November. But now it looks like the Apple Watch could launch into a different event, just as it did for the Series 6 and the Apple Watch SE last year. It is also possible that Apple may announce the Series 7 in September, but it will not be shipped until much later.

Honestly, this is almost impossible to predict, as it will depend on when the 7 Series goes into mass production. And we can’t know when the 7 Series will go into mass production until its production results are satisfactory. Basically, it all boils down to how quickly Apple can fix these production issues. The rest of us will just have to wait until September to see how it all unfolds.
